Interim
I have been under the impression for the last year that I could start graduate school in Spring 08'. Only to recently find out that is NOT a possibility and I can only start in the Fall. Fine I thought, but, for the sake of not taking a terribly long time off I came to the decision that I would against my desire, start in Fall 07'. Only have that notion fail, when I saw a little asterisk near the top right corner of the deadline for application. The regular deadline for most masters degrees are June 1 or July 1. But, this little annoying yet significant symbol ruined it all. This symbol meant that specific departments have different deadlines. So, I check the department and of course the deadline for psychology masters is Dec 15 or Jan 15.
Now I have a subsequent year off. I can apply to NYU and UNF because they are the only schools I would be willing to go to without a deadline that has passed. If I get into either school the problem is solved, otherwise, hello, Citrus County. My plan then is to be a non-degree seeking student at UF, take french classes (I really want to become fluent) and some law classes. Also, during this time turn in a myriad of applications to other schools, travel, and work. I also unbeknownst to me until recently, I have job when I move home, because one of the guys my dad golf's with wants me to work for him. I think he is a douchebag, but he wants to pay me a $1000 a week, and I can basically work from home. Consequently, because of all this new knowledge I have been extremely stressed out. I really don't want to be almost 30 when I finish my Ph.D.; however, I don't have much choice at this point. Time will only tell.
On to a lighter note. Kim's LJ told me to spread the love, and I do as I am told. (ha, not really)
Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one or two (maybe even three) reasons why I like you.
Then put this in your own journal, and spread the love.
